Introduction

The Water Treatment Skids (WTS) is an efficient and reliable water treatment for industrial settings, using centrifugal separation and self-cleaning filtration to remove particles and solids. With automated controls and a compact, modular design, these skids provide plug-and-play installation with essential connections.

Metso WTS offer:

  • Water quality improvement: The WTS provide a means to improve water quality by removing coarse particles and fine solids, ensuring that the treated water meets desired quality standards.
  • Process efficiency: The WTS ensures the reliability and efficiency of many industrial processes by providing a consistent supply of high-quality water
  • Scalability and flexibility: The availability of five different models catering to a wide range of feed flow rates enhances the scalability and flexibility, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance in various industrial environments
  • Streamlined installation and operation: Designed as plug-and-play systems, the WTS significantly simplify installation and operation. With minimal on-site assembly and only essential connections required, the skids offer quick integration into existing infrastructure
  • Resource conservation: by reusing treated water for purposes such as pump sealing, reducing the need for freshwater intake and minimizing wastewater discharge
  • Compliance with regulations: The WTS support customers to meet strict regulatory standards by providing a reliable and effective solution for water treatment and pollution control

Process overview

The WTS use a multi-stage approach combining centrifugal separation and self-cleaning filtration:

  • Centrifugal separation: Water undergoes centrifugal forces, causing denser particles to settle along the separator walls, allowing clean water to flow through the center upstream.
  • Self-cleaning filtration: Water then passes through a screen with certain microns openings that capture fine particles and impurities.
  • Automated cleaning: Mechanisms like backwashing and scraping remove accumulated solids from the screen, ensuring continuous performance.

This integrated, compact skid design efficiently removes contaminants from water streams, providing high-quality water output, reduced maintenance, enhanced operational efficiency for industrial applications, and met the diverse needs of industrial customers for water treatment and purification.

Benefits of installing WTS after concentrate thickener overflow:

  • Recover more valuable concentrate that would otherwise be lost in the overflow.
  • Improved yield and process efficiency, turning potential waste into value.
  • Reduced material losses means direct economic gain with each ton of recovered solids.
  • Cleaner overflow water improves the performance and lifespan of downstream processes.
  • Less solids in process water tanks, reducing manual cleaning and tank downtime.
  • Fewer maintenance issues due to reduced sedimentation in pipelines and tanks.
  • Improved water clarity supports better flocculant preparation and dosing accuracy.
  • Better sealing water quality reduces wear on gland seals and lowers water consumption.

Benefits of installing WTS after tailings thickener overflow:

  • Localized water treatment reduces the need for long-distance pumping to ponds.
  • Less piping and pumping equipment needed, lowering CAPEX and OPEX.
  • Cleaner water available immediately near the thickener for reuse (e.g. gland sealing, chemical dilution).
  • Reduced load on tailings ponds, which can extend their lifetime or reduce size requirements.
  • Less risk of corrosion and fouling in downstream pipelines and equipment.
  • Minimized operational disturbances caused by solids entering process water circuits.
  • Improved environmental compliance through better water reuse and less discharge.
  • Lower manual labor needed to remove accumulated solids from process water tanks.
